That eliminates any absolute need for proactive coverage. They’ve legislated an automatic adverse selection component into the system, which will eventually consume it.

If this was the way insurance worked 40 years ago do you think I would’ve spent $200,000 for “just in case” policies through those decades? I doubt it.

With no insurability restrictions, had we received bad news from a doctor — perhaps a sobering biopsy result — I could’ve immediately signed up for insurance to cover the long and expensive treatments facing us. No harm, no foul.

What a show last week. Shamefully, I take perverse pleasure watching the president get hammered by his own ineptitude and core dishonesty. Finally “what goes around” has made the orbit and is coming around.

It’s no secret I dislike President Obama but have never thought him stupid. I do however think he’s a liar of the first magnitude.

I’m sure his supporters are rushing to knit together a blanket of plausible deniability under which he can take cover. Sadly, our president’s best defense is being clueless?

Many said Obamacare would be a train wreck, but I didn’t understand it enough to pass judgment. Now I’m totally amazed such a ridiculously obtuse monstrosity could’ve squeezed through even a Pelosi and Reid Congress.

Big liberal government must pound everybody into the same consistency. They have to produce a political smoothie without lumps of individuality; otherwise people retain choices and options, which is socialist Kryptonite.
